HistoryPascal was not the first to study the patterns on the
triangle. The reason the triangle was named after him was because he was able to discover the
importance of the entire pattern, with the help of a French mathematician , Pierre de Fermat.

Building the Triangle
To create the triangle start with the number 1.
To get the bottom number, add the top two numbers.

Sequences and Patterns
Odd and Even
If you color all the odd
numbers in the triangle you
will get a pattern that
similar to Sierpinski

Sequences and Patterns
As you go down the triangle the sum of
the horizontal numbers doubles
Power of 2

Sequences and Patterns
Start at a 1 on the left side, go up and to the right.
Add up the numbers and you get the Fibonacci sequence

Purpose of Pascal’s TriangleTo determine the probability of a
coin landing on heads or tails.◦For example, if you toss a coin twice
you can have four different combinations
Probabilit

Purpose of Pascal’s Triangle
(x+4)4 = 1x4 + 4x3 + 6x2 + 4x + 1
Binomial Expansion
